Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3573018A1] Disclosed is an image generation apparatus generating and outputting a panoramic image that is obtained by converting, to a planar shape, a projection plane onto which a scene within at least a partial range of a virtual sphere as viewed from an observation point is projected. The panoramic image is such that a unit area on the virtual sphere containing a given attention direction as viewed from the observation point is converted to a broader area than other unit areas. The image generation apparatus generates the panoramic image corresponding to the projection plane such that a portion of a main line that links a position in the attention direction to a position in a direction opposite the attention direction and is within the panoramic image corresponding to a unit amount of an angle of rotation around the observation point is maximized in length at a position closest to the attention direction.
